Has Anyone Heard Anything Good Or Bad About Centerforce Clutches And Pressureplates. Looking For Something With Nice Pedal Pressure And No Chatter. Any Suggestions Would Be Appreciated.

I run Dual-Frictions and have had nothing but good out of them.I`ve had them in work trucks that tow and haul bigtime,big tire/hi-power 4wds,modified diesels,etc. and they work great.Pedal pressure feels easy.

Have one in mine now ..11 inch. if it ever goes bad i'll get another in a heart beat. very pleased with it no chatter and no slip...

Greg63 · 10-22-2007, 09:31 AM

I have had one in my'63 for 2 years now . It is a great set up for my 327 .
I am confident you won't be disappointed .

Centerforce, hays, ZOOM, they are all good quality clutches. I have a super Brute Force clutch in the Camaro and it is a ceramic and cintered steel clutch. It is either in or out, no slipping! I enjoy the clutch dump, and banging gears, but it way more clutch than I'd use on a daily driven under powered vehicle (It was behind a 500hp BBC)

Peddle pressure is a tad firmer than a stocker, but not objectionable for a daily driver. Where they get the extra clamping pressure, is from the centrifical weights on the fingers. These are no doubt the best feeling street/strip clutches that I have used. Some of the stuff from the 60's were REALLY stiff! (2 left legs to depress the peddle!), & were not fun to drive on the street. Go center force, you wont be disapointed

I am also interested in this, as I am putting a 12" centerforce DF behind my 625hp 496bb. i really don't want to go to a ceramic style. hopefully it holds.

BigBlock67 · 10-22-2007, 05:38 PM

Thanks for all the feedback. Looks like it's going to be centerforce.

Rdrdave · 10-25-2007, 12:25 AM

I have a centerforce II on a mild 350 and I love it. It's an 11" setup on a M21. Love stompin' on it while driving and breaking traction. Wouldn't change it for anything less.

I have Centerforce IIs in two of my trucks: '68 C/10 w/292 L6 -SM465, and a '71 GMC Jimmy 4x4 [K/5] w 350 V8 - NP205/SM465. Both work well. GMC running since '99 with that clutch, the C/10 since '05. Centerforce has great customer service.
